For this class, learn how to embroider a cute llama print to decorate a nursery, home or office!

Participants will learn how to make their own basic embroidery designs on hand towels - the perfect gift - and learn four popular threading techniques. Examples will be demonstrated in threading stitch styles: running, back, satin, chain stitch, and the french knot. Learn how to thread beads into your design to incorporate some pops of color with cute beaded accents.

This class is hands-on with all materials included and ready to go, you will also receive a recording of the stitches to refer to once you're stitching on your own. Not only will participants learn how to embroider but also leave with their first hoop creation and an understanding of how to go forward and stitch!

Supplies can be mailed outside of Chattanooga or dropped off- if local to the Chattanooga area. Your purchase includes: muslin to practice, six thread colors (blue, green, yellow, magenta, brown, and pink), a fun packet of beads, an embroidery needle, and one six-inch embroidery hoop.

Please note: The Chattery will email for your address (to send supplies) upon purchasing a ticket. Ticket sales end on Monday, May 17 at 1 p.m. ET.
